This guide will show you how to use the Nreal Light controller and Nreal phone controller. The tutorial will demonstrate how to create apps using Nreal Light controller as an interaction model.
Controllers provide a simple way for users to navigate in mixed reality. In the latest version, NRSDK supports two types of controlling methods: Nreal Light controller and Nreal phone controller. The Nreal Light controller can be paired with a Nreal Light computing unit or a mobile phone through Bluetooth. The Nreal phone controller is only available when using the phone as Nreal Light's computing unit.
Currently, only the Nreal Light controller (available in the Nreal Developer Kit) is available to developers. The Nreal phone controller will serve as a second input choice for users in the future.
How to Use the Nreal Light Controller
The Nreal Light Controller
 - On the front
Controller Features Description
3DoF Tracking 3 degrees of freedom
Touchpad Press = Trigger Button. Can detect touching and clicking. Customizable for your app, e.g. scrolling.
App Button Press and hold to recenter your controller. Press can be customized for your app, e.g. opening an in-app menu or performing a special action. ( Pay attention: For Nreal Light Controller, pressing the App Button equals to pressing the Touchpad Button)
Home Button Press and hold to open Exit App Window. Press can be customized for in-app action, e.g. return to the previous step.
LED Light Display controller status
 - On the back
Controller Features Description
Charging pins The three bottom-facing charging pins connect the controller with the computing unit. It is also used to send data from the computing unit to the controller.
Power Switch The Nreal Light controller on/off switch is below the charging spots. Green means the power is on, and red means the power is off.
 - Nreal Light Controller LED Guide
See LED demo below:
 - Connecting the Nreal Light Controller
 1. Make sure the Bluetooth on your Neal Light computing unit/or Android mobile phone is on. (The Bluetooth on Nreal Light computing unit is on as default.)
 2. Turn the Nreal Light controller power switch on. Long press the touchpad until the green light starts blinking.
 3. Put the Nreal Light controller on the computing unit, and they will be paired automatically.
 4. If pairing is successful, the LED will stop blinking and become solid green. If you cannot complete this step, remove all other controllers in the Bluetooth record list and try again.
 - Charging the Nreal Light Controller
Magnetically attach to the Nreal Light computing unit. Battery power will be shared between the two whether the controller is on or off.
The lithium battery in the controller is not removable. Please do not attempt to open the controller. Damage caused this way cannot be fixed.
How to Use Your Phone as a Controller

Tutorial： Nreal Light Controller
Input in Unity
These following points will help you better understand the Input from NRSDK in Unity.
ControllerProvider: This provides various controller state information to NRInput, including rotation, button press, button up, battery, and gyro. There is a default provider for Nreal controllers. You can also write a custom controller provider.
EventSystem: Integration with Unity's standard EventSystem supports user interaction with GUI and other physical objects. NRIput will automatically generate an EventSystem when the application runs.
Visualizations: Default visualizations, such as controller visual, ray visual, and reticle visual, are already included. There is also an interface for you to reskin visualizations.
Enabling NRInput
To enable NRInput, simply drag the NRInput prefab into your scene hierarchy. If you already have a Main Camera set up, drag it onto Override Camera Center in the NRInput prefab. Otherwise, the prefab will find the Main Camera. Users can now interact in the app using Nreal Light controllers.
Raycast Modes in NRInput
There are two raycasting modes included in the NRInput: the Gaze Mode and the Ray Mode.
The Ray Mode is the default raycasting mode most apps will be based on. In this mode, the ray will start from the center of the controller.
When in Gaze Mode, the raycast will start from the center of the user's forehead and emanate in a forward direction. Thus, the ray will be invisible.
Current Controller Features
Since NRSDK supports multiple types of controllers, a method was scripted to help you understand the features your current controller supports.
 - Sample Use Case:
bool supportsPosition = NRInput.GetControllerAvailableFeature(ControllerAvailableFeature.CONTROLLER_AVAILABLE_FEATURE_POSITION);
bool supportsGyro = NRInput.GetControllerAvailableFeature(ControllerAvailableFeature.CONTROLLER_AVAILABLE_FEATURE_GYRO);
Some Common Usage of NRInput
 - Sample Use Case:
void Update()
 //returns a int value of how many available controllers currently
 //returns true if a Trigger button is currently pressed
 //returns true if a Trigger button was pressed down this frame
 //returns true if a Trigger button was released this frame
 //returns if controller is 3DoF, otherwise returns the position of the domain controller
 //returns the rotation of the domain controller
 //returns the ControllerType of the domain controller
 ControllerType controllerType = NRInput.GetControllerType();
 //returns true if the touchpad is being touched
 //returns a Vector2 value of the touchpad, x(-1f ~ 1f), y(-1f ~ 1f)
 //returns a Vector3 value of gyro if supports
 //to get what hand mode is using now, left-hand or right-hand
 ControllerHandEnum domainHand = NRInput.DomainHand;
 //the same as NRInput.GetRotation()
 //returns the rotaion of the left hand controller
Get Frequently Used Anchors
The NRInput provides an easy way to get frequently used anchors quickly.
 - Sample Use Case:
Transform gazeAnchor = NRInput.AnchorsHelper.GetAnchor(ControllerAnchorEnum.GazePoseTrackerAnchor);
Transform leftRayAnchor = NRInput.AnchorsHelper.GetAnchor(ControllerAnchorEnum.LeftRayAnchor);
Raycasters in NRInput
Three raycasters are included in the NRInput prefab. One of which for Gaze Mode, and the other two for Ray Mode. The raycaster class inherits from Unity's BaseRaycaster class. A chosen raycaster's farthest raycasting distance can be modified directly from the Inspector window. You can also define which objects are interactable by changing the parameter of its Mask.
Building a Project with User Input
To help you get started with integrating control into your own app, we have prepared a sample case study.
By reading the study you will be able to:
 1. Select a range of appropriate inputs to use with the controller.
 2. Write code in C# to receive user inputs such as the Home, Bumper, Trigger and Touchpad.
 3. Activate, rotate, and move a GameObject by using the input.
 4. Interact with physical objects and UGUI in the unity environment.
 1. When pointing the controller at the cube, its color will change to green.
 2. The color of the cube will randomly change when you press the trigger button.
 3. The cube will rotate with the controller.
 4. Activate or deactivate the cube for rotation by pressing the UGUI button.
 1. Drag NRCameraRig and the NRInput prefab to the scene hierarchy.
 1. Create a cube. In the Inspector window, set its position to (0, 0.1, 3), and scale to (0.3, 0.3, 0.3).
 1. Create a script named "CubeInteractiveTest.cs" as follows and add it to the cube.
 public class CubeInteractiveTest : MonoBehaviour, IPointerClickHandler, IPointerEnterHandler, IPointerExitHandler
 private MeshRenderer m_MeshRender;
 void Awake () {
 m_MeshRender = transform.GetComponent();
 void Update()
 //get controller rotation, and set the value to the cube transform
 transform.rotation = NRInput.GetRotation();
 //when pointer click, set the cube color to random color
 public void OnPointerClick(PointerEventData eventData)
 m_MeshRender.material.color = new Color(Random.Range(0f, 1f), Random.Range(0f, 1f), Random.Range(0f, 1f));
 //when pointer hover, set the cube color to green
 public void OnPointerEnter(PointerEventData eventData)
 m_MeshRender.material.color =;
 //when pointer exit hover, set the cube color to white
 public void OnPointerExit(PointerEventData eventData)
 m_MeshRender.material.color = Color.white;
 2. Add a DirectLight to brighten the cube.
 1. Add a Canvas and delete the EventSystem.
 1. Set the Canvas RenderMode to WorldSpace, and then set its position and scale to an appropriate value such as that listed below.
 1. Remove the "Graphic Raycaster" component from it and add Canvas Raycast Target.
 1. Add two buttons to the Canvas as its children. Name one button activeBtn and the other deactive. Remember to also change the

Include non-communicating reefers in your monitoring procedure
With your REFCON reefer container monitoring system connected to the load calculator or terminal planner, the task of collecting data from the non-communicating containers becomes very simple:
- Transfer the basic reefer container information from the load calculator or terminal planner to REFCON, including container ID, location, expected temperature setpoints, etc.
- Transfer a list of all non-communicating containers from the REFCON system to the handheld RDC unit
- Go to the containers and check the listed data with the actual data on the containers
- Accept or change the data in the RDC
- Go back to the REFCON system and load the corrected data into the system, using a cradle or cable connection
You will now have the actual container data available in the REFCON system. You will also have the alarms on your screen, and you will be able to make the same reports and printouts as for the communicating containers.

Locations
A location is the relation between a soil profile and an Ident of the pipeline project. Once a soil profile gets assigned to a place on the pipeline, all necessary information should be available for calculation of the soil mechanical values at that point.
One can assign a soil profile as continuous to a specific Ident or discontinuous. For a discontinuous assignment one can assign a soil profile up to the Ident and one just after the Ident.

Bugs and Limitations
Directory timestamps aren't preserved
Rclone doesn't currently preserve the timestamps of directories. This is because rclone only really considers objects when syncing.
Rclone struggles with millions of files in a directory/bucket
Currently rclone loads each directory/bucket entirely into memory before using it. Since each rclone object takes 0.5k-1k of memory this can take a very long time and use a large amount of memory.
Millions of files in a directory tends to occur on bucket-based remotes (e.g. S3 buckets) since those remotes do not segregate subdirectories within the bucket.
Bucket based remotes and folders
Bucket based remotes (e.g. S3/GCS/Swift/B2) do not have a concept of directories. Rclone therefore cannot create directories in them which means that empty directories on a bucket based remote will tend to disappear.
Some software creates empty keys ending in / as directory markers. Rclone doesn't do this as it potentially creates more objects and costs more. This ability may be added in the future (probably via a flag/option).
Bugs are stored in rclone's GitHub project:


Laser Tag Parties – Interesting, Innovative and Exciting
When it comes to games, many parents will fall back on the usual suspects. These could include games like Pin the Tail or Musical Chairs. However, in recent times, a plethora of games and entertainment options has emerged for kids. For example, laser tag parties are quite popular in Chatswood and the adjoining areas.
Many entertainment services in major cities provide entertainment services for kids. They typically provide a venue, where kids of all ages can have a blast. These facilities usually have ample space for kids to play a wide range of games, including laser tag and skirmish. The latter, in particular, is quite popular. Visit any major shopping centre and you will find kids enjoying a game of laser skirmish in Sydney and other major cities.
In laser tag, each child has a laser tag gun. In addition, the child typically wears a vest that is sensitive to the laser. Thereafter, the participating kids typically enter a dark maze, where they try to tag each other with the laser gun. When a laser beam hits a vest, the vest lights up. This indicates that the child is now out of the game. The winner of the game is the child who remains unconquered without a single tag inside the laser room.

Of Saints and Sharifian Kings in Morocco: Three Examples of the Politics of Reimagining History Through Reinventing King/Saint Relationship
MetadataShow full item record
The relationship between sainthood and the sharifian monarchy in Morocco has attracted much attention from researchers within the area of Moroccan studies. The analysis of this relationship can offer invaluable insights into the dynamics of Moroccan history because the king and the saint are widely regarded as the two most salient actors in this history. Yet, the study of the relationship between these two figures has suffered a tendency towards downplaying its historically dynamic nature, and essentializing the cultural constructs upon which it is predicated. In this thesis, I offer a revisionary reading of king/saint relationship through analyzing three examples from the 'Alawite dynasty. I argue that this relationship has been highly dynamic, and has capitalized on baraka and sharifism as versatile cultural constructs. More significantly, the dynamics of king/saint relationship in Moroccan culture allows the strategic reinvention of history in order to meet the demands of changing historical contexts.


Notice: We're retiring Works with Nest. See the home page for more information.
How to Handle Redirects
Some programming languages have HTTP implementations that require special handling for redirects.
In response to a REST API request, the Nest API server returns a redirect. The REST client detects the redirect and requests the page that the client was redirected to. Some HTTP implementations do not forward the Authorization header to the redirected URI, and this results in a 401 Unauthorized error.
For example, suppose you ask for foo.com. The foo.com server responds with a redirect to bar.com. Postman or Curl pass the Authorization header to foo and then to bar. Other HTTP implementations, such as Golang's and Python's, do not automatically pass the Authorization header to the redirected URI.
How it works
The following sequence diagram shows what happens when a redirect occurs.
Redirect sequence
For comparison, here's what happens when a redirect does not occur.
No redirect sequence
Example
Generally, it is a good coding practice to anticipate that your language's HTTP implementation might not pass the Authorization header.
Your code should prevent the automatic redirect and make the redirect call after adding the headers back.
For example, in Go, you can do this:
customClient := http.Client {
 CheckRedirect: func(redirRequest *http.Request, via []*http.Request)
 error {
 // Go's http.DefaultClient does not forward headers when a redirect 3xx
 // response is received. Thus, the header (which in this case contains the
 // Authorization token) needs to be passed forward to the redirect
 // destinations.
 redirRequest.Header = req.Header
 // Go's http.DefaultClient allows 10 redirects before returning an
 // an error. We have mimicked this default behavior.s
 if len(via) >= 10 {
 return errors.New("stopped after 10 redirects")
 }
 return nil
 },
}
For more examples, see:
Store the redirected location
It is also a best practice to store the redirected location on a per user basis. In other words, after a user signs in and a redirect is received, store the firebase-apiserver03-tah01-iad01.dapi.production.nest.com:9553/ location and make all subsequent requests directly to this URI.
Storing the redirected location saves time and prevents unnecessary server load.
To learn more about how redirects relate to rate limiting, see Data Rate Limits.
Using curl to test the API
When using curl >= v7.58, you may get 401 Unauthorized errors from calls to the API that involve redirects. As of curl v7.58, custom Authorization headers are not forwarded on to the redirect URL returned by the API.
To account for this on curl >= v7.58, use the --location-trusted flag with any command line calls.

Published on 16th May 2013
Cheltenham Borough Council's environmental health team have started their annual egg oiling programme in order to help control the urban gull population.
Many Cheltenham businesses and residents are affected by urban gulls and although the council has no statutory duty to provide this service they are fortunate to have an annual budget of £5,000 to spend on an egg oiling programme.
This method is the most effective use of the budget and is a tried and tested method of preventing gull eggs from hatching. Eggs are treated over a period of the laying season, but they are left in situ in the nest. Adult birds will continue to sit on the eggs, but due to the treatment, they will not hatch. The egg oiling usually begins in May or June, depending on how the weather affects the mating, nesting and laying. The team visit the properties of people who have complained about problems with gulls throughout the year such as noise, aggression, faeces or damage to property.
This year the egg oiling started on 15 May and will take three weeks.
Sarah Clark, public and environmental health team leader, says: "We do our best to control the urban gull population with the budget that we have. The only long term and sustainable solution is for residents and businesses to unite in their own action by gull proofing their own properties, reducing the amount of food litter and raising awareness. With that in mind, we have started an urban gull focus group and are keen to hear from anybody who would like to join us."
Councillor Peter Jeffries, cabinet member for housing, safety and communities, added: "The main advantage of egg oiling is a reduction in the number of hatchlings. Nesting gull parents become aggressive and have often been known to attack nearby members of the public. With egg oiling the problem of aggressive parent gulls is abolished, due to the eggs not hatching, and no young being raised. However, there is nothing we can do about live birds; we can only intervene with the eggs. Controlling gulls is extremely challenging and relies on us all doing our bit to help control the urban gull population."
Further information about urban gull control and the urban gull focus group can be found on our website (pages should be published this week). If you would like to join the urban gull focus group, please email the environmental health team on: [email protected] or call 01242 775178.
For press enquiries contact: Laura Carter, communications officer, telephone 01242 264154 or email [email protected]
Part of the £5,000 budget is spent on hiring truck mounted elevated platforms that can reach heights of 52m and are capable of navigating narrow streets and complex roof architecture.
All owners/occupiers of buildings which have or may attract roof nesting gulls are urged to install gull deterrent measures suitable to their individual building.

Our Birds - Barred Plymouth Rock Chicken
Our Animals > Barred Plymouth Rock Chicken
The Plymouth Rock, often called simply Rocks or Barred Rocks (after their most popular color), is a chicken breed that originated in the United States. The Plymouth Rock is a dual-purpose, cold-hardy bird and therefore makes a great breed for the small farm or backyard flock owner. These chickens are often called Plymouth Rocks, but this title correctly belongs to the entire breed, not just the Barred variety. There are seven varieties of Plymouth Rock chickens: barred, blue, buff, Columbian, partridge, silver-penciled and white.
The Plymouth Rock was developed in New England in the middle of the 19th century and was first exhibited as a breed in 1869. Several individuals claimed its invention, using crosses of Dominiques, Black Javas, Cochins, and perhaps Malays and Dorkings. John C. Bennett (_PHONE_) has been credited with either creating or popularizing the breed. Plymouth Rocks were bred as a dual-purpose fowl, meaning that they were valued both for their meat and for the hens' egg-laying ability. The first Plymouth Rock was barred and other varieties were developed later. The breed became popular very rapidly, and in fact, until World War II, no breed was ever kept and bred as extensively in the United States as the Barred Plymouth Rock. Its popularity came from its qualities as an outstanding farm chicken: hardiness, docility, broodiness, and excellent production of both eggs and meat.
Most of the other varieties were developed from crosses containing some of the same ancestral background as the barred variety. Early in its development, the name Plymouth Rock implied a barred bird, but as more varieties were developed, it became the designation for the breed. The Barred Plymouth Rock was one of the foundation breeds for the broiler industry in the 1920s, and the White Rock continues to be used as the female side of the commercial broiler cross.
Plymouth Rocks are large, long-lived chickens. Some varieties are good layers while others are bred principally for meat. They possess a long, broad back; a moderately deep, full breast; and yellow skin and legs. The hens have a deep, full abdomen, which is a sign of a good layer. The face of a Plymouth Rock is red with red ear lobes, a bright yellow beak, bay-colored eyes, and a single comb of moderate size. Their feathers are fairly loosely held but not so long as to easily tangle.
Generally, Plymouth Rocks are not aggressive, and tame quite easily. They are docile and may show broodiness. The hens usually make good mothers. However, some males and females are big and active enough to be quite a problem if they become aggressive.
Breeders should be aware of the standard weights and not select small or narrow birds for the breeding pen. Common faults include a shallow breast, high tails, narrow bodies and small size. Friendly and curious.

Calculating Copper Recovery Rate For Scrap Cables
Copper Recovery RateIf you have every come across a sweet scrapping score of a few dozen, hundreds, or thousands of pounds of scrap cable or wire, it's usually time for a small celebration. After your victory lap, it's time to put your math skills to work and start figuring out what kind of profits and prices you can expect for your scrap copper. When you have wide gauge wire and cables for scrap, you may not have the time or correct tools to strip it down for the bare bright copper inside. So when you are faced with that situation it is easy to figure out the recovery rate of copper from the cable you have with some simple math and a few minutes. Below the iScrap App Team provides you with the necessary tools and steps to calculating the copper recovery rate for your cables and wires.
Tools & Materials Needed:
 - Copper Cable or Wire Sample (2-3 inch in length)
 - Cable or Wire Cutter
 - Box Knife or Razor Blade
 - Small Scale with Gram Measurement
 - Paper & Pen
 - Calculator
Calculating Copper Cable Recovery Rate
Step-By-Step Directions
 1. Cut a 2-3 inch sample of your material with the insulation, plastic, and copper intact. This can be done with a sawzall or a cable cutter.
 2. Once you have done that, place the sample on the gram scale and record the overall weight of the sample (see above photo).
 3. After, take your razor blade or box knife to slice the cable open so that you can access every layer of the material inside and remove the different layers.
 4. Weigh the piece of insulation from the outside of the cable on the scale on it's own and record the weight.
 5. Then remove the next layer (if different from the previous), whether that is copper foil, plastic, or more insulation. Weigh that and record it down.Recording Copper Recovery Weight for Cables
 6. Repeat with any other materials that are different from the insulation, until you have gotten to the middle pieces of copper strands on the inside. Take a look and see if the copper in the middle is in fact bare bright copper or tin-coated copper.
 7. If it is difficult to get all of the pieces of copper on the scale together to weigh you can take a short cut of weighing all of the other materials and writing their weights down. From there you can subtract them from the overall weight of the sample of cable and the result is your overall copper wire weight.
 8. Once you have the weight of your copper wire on the inside of the cable, take that number and divide it by the overall weight of the sample and the result will be the percentage of copper recovery rate from your scrap cable or wire.Copper Percentage for Cable Scrap
 9. You can bring that number to your scrap yard, along with the sample you deconstructed. From there you will be able to discuss a fair price for your copper scrap and understand what kind of numbers your yard is looking for.
You can see an example of this procedure below, in a video that Tom, the creator of the iScrap App did:

Twilio on Rails
By Chris Rittersdorf on 20 Jan 2012
The use of smart phones is on the rise, however SMS text messaging is still the best way to reach the broadest customer base, especially in developing countries. If you have a Ruby on Rails application that needs to reach this broad customer base, Twilio is an excellent tool to have in your toolbox.
It's easy to add Twilio to a Rails application. This post will walk you through the process of integrating Rails with Twilio, including:
 - Signing Up for a Twilio Account
 - Testing with Twilio's Sandbox App
 - Integrating Twilio with a Rails Application
 - Configuring your Twilio enabled Rails application for Production
Let's get started!
Signing Up for Twilio
Signing up for Twilio is as simple as providing your name, email and password. After you sign up and log in for the first time, you are taken to the Dashboard. This will give you plenty of information to get started. Upon signing up, you are given $30 in credits to get started. These credits are spent every time a text message is sent or received by Twilio.
Twilio Dashboard
In the bottom left section of your dashboard, you'll see a box called Sandbox App. The Twilio Sandbox is where you want to do development work with Twilio. The Sandbox not only lets you test out your SMS enabled application without burning through credits, but it also lets you lock down which mobile phones can send text messages to it and which mobile phones it can send text messages to. This is in contrast to the live account which consumes credits, and can send and receive text messages to and from any mobile phone. Now that you know what the Sandbox is, let's try it out.
Testing Your Account Using the Sandbox
To test the SMS sandbox, send a text message from your phone to the sandbox number. The content doesn't matter, it can be anything. Try texting "hello twilio". You'll then see a reply similar to this:
Sent from the Twilio Sandbox Number - Error: No PIN. Make sure you begin your message with the Sandbox PIN from your Twilio Dashboard.
Any time you interact with the Twilio Sandbox, you must provide a PIN along with all communications (whether SMS or Voice). This PIN is located below the Sandbox number on your dashboard. Enter the pin at the beginning of your text message, for example:
28910293 hello twilio
You'll then get a reply from the default Twilio Service located at:
Now that you've confirmed that your account is in working order, let's see how was can leverage service in a Ruby on Rails application.
Integrating Twilio with Your Rails Application
Web applications communicate with Twilio using an XML variant called TwiML. For example:
This section of TwiML describes how to respond to a user calling a phone number. It speaks a message during the phone call, then sends the user an SMS message. But, it's no fun writing TwiML. And since we're using Ruby, there's a gem for that! The twiliio-ruby gem abstracts TwiML into an easy to use Ruby API.
In your Rails application, simply add the twilio-ruby gem to your Gemfile:
Now you have the necessary library to start sending text messages. So now let's use it!
Sending a Text Message Using Twilio
Sending a text message with your Rails application is simple. But before doing so, there is one configuration we have to make. To test your application using the Twilio Sandbox, you'll need to white-list any phone numbers you plan to send SMS messages to. You can do this by going to the Numbers tab and clicking the Verify Number button. There is a series of steps you'll have to complete to verify your number.
Verify Phone Number
After you've verified the phone number, your application can now send text messages. The following code example show you how:
In this example, the send_text_message action receives a phone number from a form post, then relays a hard-coded message to that phone number via SMS. The twilio_sid, twilio_token, and twilio_phone_number variables contain the configuration information for authentication using the twilio-ruby gem. Generally, you'd want to pull this into a configuration file that gets loaded when your application loads, but I've put them into local variables for simplicity.
Receiving a Text Message Using Twilio
In order to receive a text message from a mobile device, you'll have to expose an endpoint that is reachable by Twilio. Here is an example:
In this example, the index action receives a POST from Twilio. It grabs the message body, and the phone number of the sender and logs it. Retrieving the information from the Twilio POST is as simple as looking at the params hash:
In order for text messages to reach your application you have to tell Twilio where to send requests. This is again done in the Sandbox App section of the Twilio Dashboard. Specify your publicly facing endpoint in the SMS URL field and click "Save".
If you're running your server locally and have no publicly facing endpoint, you can use a service like tunnlr to create one. This creates a publicly accessible URL with an SSH tunnel back to your local machine.
So the publicly facing endpoint for your application would look something like:
Configuring Twilio for Production
To deploy your SMS enabled application in a production environment, there are three things you'll need to do: buy a Twilio phone number, configure that phone number in your application, and then configure the production end-point in Twilio.
Purchasing a phone number requires you to enter payment information and decide on a phone number to provision. Twilio will guide you through the process. At the time of writing, Twilio's pricing is set at $1.00 a month plus an additional 1¢ charge per text.
Also, you will need to update the Twilio phone number in your application to the new number that you've provisioned. The examples above contained a variable with the value for a Twilio phone number. Change this value to the new phone number you provisioned.
Finally, you'll now have to configure the SMS endpoint much like how we did for the Sandbox. Click on the "Numbers > Twilio Numbers" tab. Then click on the phone number you provisioned. Finally, in the "SMS Request URL" field, specify your publicly facing production endpoint URL, then click "Save Changes".
Whether it be for those on-the-go, or those who otherwise are not able to use a computer or smart phone, SMS provides excellent alternative interface for the users of your web application. For those looking for a simple and affordable way to get started, Twilio is an outstanding option. So now that you know how to get started, what will you build using Twilio?

Guatemala's Ancient Deer Dance of the Gods (Video)
Mayan dances hold a significant place in Guatemalan history and religion, with the ancient ritual of the deer dance playing a particularly pivotal role. Celebrated on the Feast of Corpus Christi, a major Catholic holiday observed on May 31st across Central and South American countries, the deer dance is a tradition filled with ritual. In Guatemala, particularly in the village of Patzún, locals come together to perform this dance, a tradition that extends far back into history.
The deer dance is a representation of a deer hunt, intending to illustrate the coexistence of humans and other animals in nature throughout history. For over 20 years, Juan Yool Gómez has been participating in this dance, embodying the age-old tradition that transcends time. The deer dance forms a bridge between the past and the present, celebrating the rich cultural heritage of Guatemala and keeping the ancient Mayan traditions alive.

Parks and Cemeteries, the section that oversees the development and maintenance of Dog Parks, is piloting the use of pedestrian traffic counters at Dog Park entrance areas. The purpose of the program is to provide baseline data on when and at what volume Dog Parks across the city are being used.
What is the data used for?
Data on volume and time of use is essential to:
- provide a snap shot of when and at what volume Dog Parks are being used;
- build long-term support for City Dog Parks;
- contribute to City processes including capital/maintenance programs, planning, design and program evaluation.
Where is the data collected?
Currently 2 pedestrian traffic counters have been installed at Nathan Cirillo and Borer's Dog Parks. Counters will be rotated to other Dog Parks over time, at which time data will be reviewed.
City of Hamilton Traffic Operations operates a similar program with over 20 counters on trails and pathways, through the Active Transportation Benchmarking program.

Ceph Grunt Commander units are a variations of Ceph Grunts that appear in Crysis 2.
Ceph Combat Command Units are very similar to the Stalker Commanders. Both have dark, red-colored flesh resembling jelly underneath their armored exoskeletons. The Grunt and Stalker Commanders also have red-colored shields that activate when the player's presence is discovered. Upon death, Ceph Grunt Commanders will drop 300 Nano Catalyst. They also have slightly different helmets, displaying their eyes more as slits rather than a standard grunts more circular eyes.
The main differences between Grunt and Stalker Commanders are that they command different units and wield different weapons. The Grunt Commanders are in control of a squad of Grunts and have a pulse rifle attached to their arm, as opposed to the blade of the Stalker Commanders. Once a battle starts, the Grunt Commander will activate its shield, which emits a red glow. Once enough damage is dealt to the Grunt Commander, its shield will dissipate and the Grunt Commander becomes as vulnerable as the Grunts that serve underneath them.

a demo here. It looks like the sample below:
jTable sorting
To enable sorting, sorting option must set to true. You can also set defaultSorting option. It can be a field name of a column of the table. For instance, if you want table sorted by Name by default, defaultSorting can be 'Name ASC' or 'Name DESC'.
$('#PersonTable').jtable({
 //...
 sorting: true, //Enable sorting
 defaultSorting: 'Name ASC', //Sort by Name by default
 actions: {
 //...
 },
 fields: {
 //...
 }
});
If sorting is enabled, jTable sends a query string parameter to the server on listAction AJAX call:
 - jtSorting: A string represents requested sorting. It is built from sorting field name plus sorting direction. For instance, It can be 'Name ASC', 'BirtDate DESC', 'Age ASC'... etc.
An ASP.NET MVC action that is used for sorting is shown below (paging is also enabled for the code below):
[HttpPost]
public JsonResult PersonList(int jtStartIndex = 0, int jtPageSize = 0, string jtSorting = null)
{
 try
 {
 int personCount = _personRepository.GetPersonCount();
 List<person> persons = _personRepository.GetPersons(jtStartIndex, jtPageSize, jtSorting);
 return Json(new { Result = "OK", Records = persons, TotalRecordCount = personCount });
 }
 catch (Exception ex)
 {
 return Json(new { Result = "ERROR", Message = ex.Message });
 }
}
Note that while sorting can be used with paging (as in this sample), it is completely independed from paging.
Selecting
jTable allows you client side selecting rows. See a demo here. It looks like the sample below:
jTable selecting
To enable selecting, selecting option must set to true. You can set multiselect option to true to allow user to select multiple rows at once. You can set selectingCheckboxes option to true to show checkboxes as the sample above. Finally, you can set selectOnRowClick to false to prevent row selecting on clicking anywhere on the row (it's true as default).
To get list of selected rows, you can call selectedRows method of jTable anytime (see sample usage). Also, you can get notified when selection changed by selectionChanged event.
//Prepare jtable plugin
$('#PersonTable').jtable({
 //...
 selecting: true, //Enable selecting
 multiselect: true, //Allow multiple selecting
 selectingCheckboxes: true, //Show checkboxes on first column
 //selectOnRowClick: false, //Enable this to only select using checkboxes
 actions: {
 //...
 },
 fields: {
 //...
 },
 //Register to selectionChanged event
 selectionChanged: function () {
 //Get all selected rows
 var $selectedRows = $('#PersonTable').jtable('selectedRows');
 $('#SelectedRowList').empty();
 if ($selectedRows.length > 0) {
 //Show selected rows
 $selectedRows.each(function () {
 var record = $(this).data('record');
 $('#SelectedRowList').append(
 'PersonId: ' + record.PersonId +
 'Name:' + record.Name
 );
 });
 } else {
 //No rows selected
 $('#SelectedRowList').append('No row selected! Select rows to see here...');
 }
 }
});
In the sample above, we are registering to selectionChanged event. In the event handler, we are getting selected rows by selectedRows method. It returns a jQuery selection, so we can call any jQuery method on it. We can get the record by record data property. Then we can get fields of record as record.Name, record.PersonId... etc.
Master/Child tables
jTable supports unlimited level of child tables for a table. Child tables can also have their children and so on... A child table is releated in a row in master table. Look at the screen below:
Master Child table on jTable
Click here to see a live demo. When you click phone icon at left of a row, a new table slides down below the clicked row and you can manipulate phones of the selected person. You can do everything just as a regular jTable. When you click close button, child table slides up and closed.
To implement a child table, first we must understand custom (computed) column support of jTable. Green phone icon on the figure above is created in a custom column. To create a custom column, we use display option of jtable field definition as like below:
//...
Phones: {
 title: '',
 width: '3%',
 sorting: false,
 edit: false,
 create: false,
 display: function (personData) {
 var $img = $('<img src="_URL_ title="Edit phone numbers" />');
 return $img;
 }
}
//...
Phones is a field definition as Name or Gender columns. But Person record has not a field named Phones. So, we define a function that will create value of this field to show on the table. display function is used for that. It is called by jTable for each row. It must return a text, HTML code or jQuery object. In the sample above, I created an image (green phone icon) as a jQuery object and returned it. Then jTable showed this image in the row. personData argument (you can change name of the argument of course) has record property that can be used to get record values for current row. So, if you want to use Name of the person, you can get it using personData.record.Name.
So far so good. But, how to open child table when user clicks this image. jTable defines two methods: openChildTable and closeChildTable to control child tables. So, web can open a child table when user clicks the phone icon (in the display method above):
$img.click(function() {
 $('#PersonTable').jtable('openChildTable',
 $img.closest('tr'),
 {
 title: personData.record.Name + ' - Phone numbers',
 actions: {
 listAction: '/PagingPerson/PhoneList?PersonId=' +
 personData.record.PersonId,
 deleteAction: '/PagingPerson/DeletePhone',
 updateAction: '/PagingPerson/UpdatePhone',
 createAction: '/PagingPerson/CreatePhone'
 },
 fields: {
 StudentId: {
 type: 'hidden',
 defaultValue: studentData.record.StudentId
 },
 PhoneId: {
 key: true,
 create: false,
 edit: false,
 list: false
 },
 PhoneType: {
 title: 'Phone type',
 width: '30%',
 options: { '1': 'Home phone',
 '2': 'Office phone',
 '3': 'Cell phone'}
 },
 Number: {
 title: 'Phone Number',
 width: '30%'
 },
 RecordDate: {
 title: 'Record date',
 width: '20%',
 type: 'date',
 displayFormat: 'dd.mm.yy',
 create: false,
 edit: false
 }
 }
 }, function(data) { //opened handler
 data.childTable.jtable('load');
 });
});
openChildTable has three parameters. First one is used to indicate the row which is used as master row of child table. Here, I got container tr element of the image, so it gives the current row. Second parameter is a regular jTable initialization options. You can pass any option that can be passed to any jTable instance. So, you can define a custom column and open a second level child. Third and the last parameter is a callback method that is called by jTable after child table successfully created and opened. Here, I loaded records after child table is opened.
Look at the listAction. It's something like that: '/PagingPerson/PhoneList?PersonId=' + personData.record.PersonId. Thus, we are getting phone numbers those are related to current person (personData comes from display method, see codes above). Also, we need PersonId in the server side while creating a new phone number for a person. It's done with a hidden field (See StudentId definition). Given default value is used for new records.
When you create a child table, jTable automatically closes it when user clicks close icon of the table. You can change/override these functionalities.

In this paper, a line pressure control algorithm was developed to reduce the energy loss of the AT-based hybrid vehicle. A hybrid vehicle performance simulator was developed. Via the analysis of the power flow and lever, the torque exerted on the friction elements was calculated for each gear step of the HEV. From the calculated torque at each friction element, the optimal line pressure was determined for the given transmission at each transmission input torque and gear step. Using the HEV performance simulator, it was found that torque capacity of the friction element is capable of transmitting the torque by optimal line pressure. It was found from the simulation results that optimal line pressure control algorithm suggested in this study is able to reduce of the hydraulic control system energy loss approximately 36% compared with that of control algorithm which uses constant line pressure.


text: A numerical simulation code was developed for estimating the surface temperature of POM wear test with different shapes. By using the developed code, the effect of sliding geometry with various contact areas on the surface temperature was numerically investigated. The simulation results show that the limiting sliding velocity depends on contact area and reaches a peak value at a certain geometry. It was also found that the simulation code leads an exact prediction of limiting velocity in the range of small contact area. This is important since the exact temperature measurement is very difficult in this range.


Creating an agent bundle
This topic describes how to create an agent bundle for use with the Unified Agent Installer.
This topic contains the following sections:
About agent bundles
An agent bundle maps target platform types to their corresponding agent installers. Optionally, an agent bundle can also specify the contents of the following agent configuration files: exports, users.local, and secure (optionally different settings for each platform).
For example, suppose you want to install agents on Microsoft Windows 32-bit servers. Following the instructions in Adding agent installer packages to the Depot, you would create a depot software object for the Windows 32-bit agent installer package, and this object would be based on the installer file RSCD86-WIN32.msi. When you create an agent bundle, you include a line that says: for each Windows 32-bit target system, use the RSCD86-WIN32.msi package to install an agent.
You may need to create only one agent bundle to specify the installers and settings for all your platforms. However, there are some situations where you need to create more than one bundle:
 - You need agent bundles with different permissions for each bundle.
 - You need to have different agent configuration file contents for the same platform.
When you create an agent bundle, it is stored in the file server.
Before you begin
Required authorizations
To create and use agent bundles, your role must be granted the following authorizations:
 - DepotFolder.Read on the folder where the agent bundle is stored
 - DepotFolder.Write on the folder where the agent bundle is stored
 - DepotFolder.Read on the folders where agent installers are stored
 - WindowsSoftware.Read, AIXSoftware.Read, LinuxSoftware.Read, or SolarisSoftware.Read, to access the appropriate agent installer
 - AgentBundle.Read
 - AgentBundle.Create
Familiarity with exports, users.local, and secure files (optional)
When you create an agent bundle, you do not have to specify the contents of the exports, users.local, and secure files. If you omit these settings, the system uses the defaults from the agent installer package.
However, if you want to specify these configuration settings in the agent bundle, familiarize yourself with the various options and syntax for these files. See Setting up configuration files. Use care when defining non-default configurations. The installation process does not validate configuration settings. An incorrect setting can prevent an agent from starting or block users from accessing the agent.
To create an agent bundle
 1. Open the Depot folder. Select a sub-folder, right-click and select New > Agent Bundle. The New Agent Bundle wizard opens.
 2. Define the agent bundle, as described in the following sections:
 3. Click Finish after completing the last step of the wizard.

How Do Snails Make Shells – How are They Formed
I was doing a bit of gardening recently when I came across a snail with a chunk of its shell missing. I thought to myself, how do these shells work? I wander if the little guy can grow another one…? I did some further digging, excuse the pun, and this is what I uncovered!
How do snails make shells?
Snails make their shells with a gland called the 'mucous pedal gland'. The function of this gland is to produce a calcium rich mucous which the snail spreads on the outer rim of the original shell. Over time this mucous hardens, at first forming a weak, soft edge that eventually becomes hard like the rest. This process is repeated as necessary to ensure the shell grows along with the snail. Land, garden and sea snails all follow the same shell growth process.
Through my research I also discovered that there are over forty thousand species of snail and some of them only live in water. Can you imagine that?! I also discovered just how important a role the shells play in the life of a snail and how some of their reproductive methods are totally crazy. Check this out!
Do snails have shells when they are born
All snails are born with a basic soft shell called a 'protoconch'. The shells are made of calcium carbonate, which is a chemical compound of calcium and protein also found in rocks, seashells and even dark green vegetables.
Where Do Snail Shells come from & How are Snail Shells Formed
As a snail reaches maturity, their original shell becomes the smallest part of the spiral we see in all snail shells. As the shell grows, it is pushed around the snail like an unwinding spring, this is the reason for the spiral shape. Because of the way the snail forms it's shell it is also capable of repairing it, the mucous excretion acting like glue to seal a wound – so I'm sure my little garden friend will be fine.
Now, given that the shell is made of calcium carbonate, you might have guessed that the main ingredient for the shell is calcium – this means that to grow a shell effectively, snails must consume large quantities of it to fuel their mucous production. All snails hatch from calcium dense eggs and instinct tells them to eat the eggshell after they hatch. This sets them on the path of seeking out calcium – from birth they hunt for anything and everything plant based containing this essential dietary ingredient (snails are omnivores with very few genetically exceptional species that may occasionally eat fish or other snails).
Land snails often look for green vegetables such as spinach and broccoli. Snails that spend their lives in the water have a diet primarily consisting of plants like algae and kelp.
Diet has a large impact on the pattern of the shell too! Snails with a diverse diet tend to have more vibrant and interesting patterned shell, which is why sea snails living in warmer climates tend to be the most eye-catching, due to the larger variety of available foods.
How Do Snails Make Shells
How Do Snails Make Shells
Why do snails have a shell?
The purpose of a snail's shell is very diverse and it's kind of like a little snail house, though it's technically a living part of the snail. Because of the genetic make-up of a snail, like all members of the gastropod family, their entire body is very moist – maintained by their mucous production mentioned earlier – as such, they require a moist environment to survive.
This is why we rarely see snails on the sidewalk when it's sunny and dry, it makes it very difficult and uncomfortable for the snail to move around as it has to produce far more mucous to do so. If it's really hot, then the shell acts as a very necessary sun shield where the snail can retreat into and stay nice and wet. Shells are also very useful as a means of defence against predators such as birds and fish – the strong shell being virtually impenetrable to many species.
They can also hide well as their shells often camouflage well with the environment in which they get their food from – as I mentioned earlier, the shell pattern and colour changes based on diet. If a snail feels threatened it can retract its entire body into the shell so that only very persistent and well-equipped predators can get at them. Birds like the song thrush will clasp a snail in its strong beak and repeatedly smash it against a solid object until they successfully break the hard shell.
Other large predators such as blue jays, ravens, hawks and owls will actually swallow smaller snails whole, in which case the shells are likely only to cause a minor stomach upset for their attackers…hardly a fair trade!
How are snails attached to their shells?
While we might look at the shell as the snail's home, it is attached from birth and cannot be removed. The shell should be considered as an extension of the snail itself, like a human's ribcage.
Can a snail live without its shell or Do Snails Die when their Shells Break?
The short answer is, sadly, no. So, if my little friend's shell was more severely damaged, he probably wouldn't have made it.
Imagine if your rib cage was on the outside of your body. Our ribcage is very important for our survival as it protects our important bits! Without our ribcage we couldn't survive as it supports our ability to breathe and it is the same for the snail. Not only does the snail breathe through a breathing hole in its shell, it simply wouldn't survive the elements without it. Who would have known that a snail's greatest defence mechanism is also one of its most vital organs!
Can snails regrow their shells?
As mentioned earlier, a snail can make minor repairs to their shell as needed, however, to regrow the entire shell would sadly be impossible because to lose the shell means death.
Where do snails come from? Reproduction and more!
One of the most interesting finds I came across in my search for snail information is that the majority of snails don't reproduce like humans, or many other mammals at that. In fact, their reproduction methods are incredibly rare in the sense that most snails are hermaphrodites. This means that the snail is both male and female – possessing all necessary elements required to produce both egg and sperm. This means that a snail can reproduce all by itself, isn't that crazy?! While it is possible for snails to reproduce by themselves, they generally prefer to find a mate, because the chance of survival for a baby snail that is self-fertilised is much lower than if they produce with a sexual partner.
One of the most fascinating discoveries I came across is that some species of snail use a mechanism commonly called a 'love dart'. Love darts are made up of calcium and contain hormones that help to enhance reproductive capability of the party that is 'shot' with the dart. Love darts are typically present in snails who have been sexually mature for a while and reproduced in the past. In the final stages of reproduction snails will shoot these love darts into their sexual partners as a part of the mating ritual.
The only problem is that sometimes these darts that are designed to help with successful reproduction, actually have the potential to pass right through the snail on impact and damage vital organs! It's a good thing these snails don't have thought processes like human beings – they are very instinct oriented beings. Otherwise these particular species would probably die out from fear of reproducing!
Save the snail shell!
What a journey that was – I hope you enjoyed learning about snails as much as I did! Remember that all snails are born with their shell and that it is vital for their survival. So, if you're ever in the garden and you see a snail with a cracked shell, you can help the snail by moving it out of the sun so that it doesn't dry out while it's repairing itself. Some people have been recorded to use glue or sticky tape successfully to help fix snail shells, but that might be a level of commitment you're not looking for with your little garden friends. (Or pests, depending on who you ask!)

Coat changes from birth to the second winter coat in a long haired variety of Fallow deer are described and compared with normal deer. The long haired deer are characterised by a dense, curly crown and long tufts of hair growing from the ears. The long haired coat always contained a high proportion of growing hairs in contrast to the normal coat in which there were discrete generations of growing hairs. The difference between the long haired and normal deer was most marked in the first winter when the hairs of the long coat were longer and finer than normal and tended to be easily wetted in contrast to the normal coarse winter coat.

What are tracking IDs, and how does the new site help Associates use them?With tracking IDs, Associates can analyze the performance of various Web sites or merchandising strategies while accumulating earnings under a single Associates ID. For example, Associate storeid-20 might use the tracking ID storeid-1-20 to track referrals from one section of his Web site, and storeid-2-20 to track referrals from another section. Each ID would generate earnings for his Associates account storeid-20. He can view earnings for all tracking IDs taken together, or generate reports for each tracking ID individually. If you would like to create tracking IDs for your Associates account, please visit your account and click on "Manage your Tracking ID" link.
We've added several features to the site to help Associates who use tracking IDs analyze their performance and build custom links. You'll:
- Get results faster. The Tracking ID Summary Report now includes data for only those tracking IDs that have activity in the requested time period, making it easier to read and faster to load.
- Analyze performance more easily. Reports data for Associates accounts now include the tracking ID for each transaction. Get all the data you need in a single download instead of generating a report for each tracking ID.
- Save time while building links. You can change the tracking ID to be used in the resulting code at any time while you're building links. This increases your flexibility and eliminates the need for you to repeat steps.

How to configure the switch to implement Auto PD Recovery (FW 4.80 and newer)

The crash/hang on surveillance devices (ex: IP camera) can usually be recovered by just a reboot. Zyxel switch GS1350 series models support PoE feature "Auto PD Recovery" which offers a way to restart malfunctioning PDs from Zyxel Switch (PSE) to reduce service-down time by sending a field engineer to troubleshoot the live site. Additionally, this feature ensures the reliability of network by preventing situations where PDs are suddenly no longer working.
In the purpose of ensuring reliability of the network, below example will instruct administrator on how to configure the switch by using Auto PD Recovery to have an alternative & sufficient way to reset power supply of malfunctioning PDs.
Note:
All network IP addresses and subnet masks are used as examples in this article. Please replace them with your actual network IP addresses and subnet masks.
In order to access PDs efficiently to simulate the PD malfunction, the example was tested with NWA90AXPRO and NWA1123ACv3 as PDs instead of common IP Cameras, and we use GS1350-12HP as the PoE Switch.
There are 2 options for Auto PD Recovery feature.
1) Ping mode: Detect the PD status by performing ping requests.
2) LLDP mode: Monitor LLDP packets from the PD.
Both modes detect PD status within a certain period of time (referred to as "Resume Polling Interval"). Once the configured criteria is reached, the switch will perform reboot-alarm action to the PD.
The number of times that the switch can make the PD reboot is also a configurable value (referred to as "PD Reboot Count"). If the times that the switch tries to reboot the PD reaches the value, the switch will no longer try rebooting the PD even if the polling count is reached.
 We will respectively use "Ping mode" & "LLDP mode" in the following examples.
1. Configuration in the Switch (Ping mode)
1-1. Access the web-GUI of the Switch.
1-2. Go to Menu > Port > Auto PD Recovery. Activate Auto PD Recovery and check the desired port(s).
1-3. Select the mode as "Ping" and input IP address of the PDs.
Note 1:
If the PD (IP Cam) supports LLDP, it'll bring up the IP info automatically in the text box of "Neighbor".
For those who don't, manual input is required.
Note 2:
The default setting about Polling Interval (20 secs) and Polling Count (3 times) will make switch detect the PD status by performing ping requests every 20 seconds.
If there is no ping reply from the PD, polling count starts to count from 1. Once polling count is reached to 3 times, the switch will perform the reboot-alarm action to reboot the PD.
Note 3:
The ping mechanism in "Auto PD Recovery" is through switch's default management IP address to the designated port. This means the designated port must share the same VLAN as switch's management VLAN in order to successfully ping and monitor the IP camera/PD.
2. Test the Result (Ping Mode)
Please make sure the PD Health of your PD on switch neighbor page is green first. Path: Menu > Monitor > Neighbor
2-1. Change the IP address of the PD in your PD's IP setting page to simulate the situation that the PD is not replying ping requests from the switch.
2-2. Once the Polling Count reached to 3 times, the switch will perform the reboot-alarm action to reboot the PD.
In Menu > Monitor > Neighbor, the PD Health status will turn to yellow LED (means the PD is rebooting).
When switch performs rebooting the PD (the connected port is detected as link-down on switch), the switch will start to again supply the power to the PD 10 seconds later (default value of Resume Power Interval).
2-3. After the PD is powered on, the switch resumes to detect the PD status by performing ping requests after 600 seconds (default value of Resume Polling Interval).
2-4. The Polling Count will once again reach 3 times since there is still no response from the changed polling IP 10.214.48.100. However, the switch will no longer perform PD recovery process due to the PD Reboot Count Value (default: 1 time) is reached.
Meanwhile the detecting process (ping requests) keeps going, the PD Health status will become red LED (means the PD is considered dead).
Note:
As soon as a ping is successful, the PD reboot count will reset and then restart the counting process.
2-5. Change back the correct IP address of the PD in your PD's IP setting page to simulate the situation that the PD is normally responding the ping requests.
2-6. After the next successful detecting process, the PD Health status will turn to greed LED (means the PD is considered normal).
Note:
The PD reboot count will also reset in case of any modification of Auto PD Recovery is applied, or rebooting of the switch itself.
3. Configuration in the Switch (LLDP mode)
3-1. Access the web GUI of the Switch.
3-2. Go to Menu > Port > Auto PD Recovery. Activate Auto PD Recovery and check the desired port(s).
3-3. Select the mode as "LLDP" (default mode).
Note:
In LLDP mode, switch monitors the PD status by checking incoming LLDP packets every 30 seconds (default value of transmit interval for LLDP feature) from the PD.
Likewise, switch sends out LLDP packets to the PD every 30 seconds to update the neighbor table on the PD.
Switch will check the LLDP table every 600 seconds (default value of Resume Polling Interval). If the PD entry disappears (default LLDP table aging time: 120 seconds) in switch's LLDP table, the switch will perform the reboot-alarm action (default action) to reboot the PD.
4. Test the Result (LLDP Mode)
4-1. Turn off LLDP feature of the PD to simulate the situation that PD is not responding LLDP anymore.
4-2. Once the PD entry disappears in switch's LLDP table, the switch will perform the reboot-alarm action to reboot the PD.
In Menu > Monitor > Neighbor, the PD Health status will turn to yellow LED (means the PD is rebooting).
When switch performs rebooting the PD (the connected port is detected as link-down on switch), the switch will start to again supply the power to the PD 10 seconds later (default value of Resume Power Interval).
4-3. After the PD is powered on, the switch resumes to detect the PD status by checking LLDP table after 600 seconds (default value of Resume Polling Interval).
4-4. The PD's LLDP info is still missing since the LLDP feature is turned off on the PD. However, the switch will no longer perform PD recovery process due to the PD Reboot Count Value (default: 1 time) is reached.
4-5. Meanwhile the detecting process (checking LLDP table) keeps going, the PD Health status will become red LED (means the PD is considered dead).
4-6. Recover the LLDP feature on the PD to simulate the situation that the PD can regularly exchange LLDP info with the switch.
4-7. After the next successful detecting process, the PD Health status will turn to greed LED (means the PD is considered normal).
Note:
The PD reboot count will be reset in case of any modification of Auto PD Recovery is applied, or rebooting of the switch itself.
5. What May Go Wrong
5-1. In Menu > Monitor > Neighbor, the PD Health will not display the status instantaneously after any enable/disable action was applied.
The status will be refreshed after the configured Resume Polling Interval (default: 600 secs), which means the detecting process is ongoing.
5-2. In case of upgrading firmware for the camera/PD, it's highly recommended to disable Auto PD recovery function during the process since the power cutoff during the firmware upgrade may cause potential damage to the camera/PD.

How reliable is the Polar Fitness Test
Validity of a test means that the test measures what it is supposed to measure and not something else. The Polar Fitness Test was originally developed on 305 healthy Finnish men and women in a study, where VO2max prediction was developed using artificial neural network analysis. The correlation coefficient between the laboratory measured VO2max and the neural network prediction value was 0.97 and the mean error in the VO2max prediction was 6.5 % which is good compared to any other predictive tests of VO2max.
In further development of the test, 119 fitness measurements of healthy American men and women were included in the final development of the neural network, making a total of 424 subjects. Based on these results the artificial neural network was modified into Polar Fitness Test. The test was validated in a study on 52 healthy men, who didn't belong to the group on whom the test was developed. The mean deviation in the Polar Fitness Test prediction was less than 12 %. The validity of the Polar Fitness Test is considered to be good.
The reliability of a test is a measure of how consistent and reproducible the test results are on consecutive trials. The reliability of the Polar Fitness Test is good. When 11 subjects repeated the test in the morning, in the middle of the day and in the evening during eight days, in both sitting and laying positions, the average individual standard deviation of consecutive test results was less than 8 % from the individual mean value. The standard deviations calculated separately for each time of the day were all smaller than the standard deviation of all results. This indicates that the test can be conducted at any time of the day but it should always be repeated at about the same time.

English Synonyms and Antonyms, by James Champlin Fernald
Dogmatic is technically applied in a good sense to that which is formally enunciated by adequate authority; doctrinal to that which is stated in the form of doctrine to be taught or defended. Dogmatic theology, called also "dogmatics," gives definite propositions, which it holds to be delivered by authority; systematic theology considers the same propositions in their logical connection and order as parts of a system; a doctrinal statement is less absolute in its claims than a dogmatic treatise, and may be more partial than the term systematic would imply. Outside of theology, dogmatic has generally an offensive sense; a dogmatic statement is one for which the author does not trouble himself to give a reason, either because of the strength of his convictions, or because of his contempt for those whom he addresses; thus dogmatic is, in common use, allied with arrogant and kindred words.

Creating thumbnail images using LS2J in LotusScript
Learn how to create thumbnail images in Lotus Domino using LS2J in LotusScript.
View member feedback to this tip.
This tip resolves a problem faced by many developers who code for the Web: how to create thumbnail images in Lotus Domino. Until I came up with this code, I either ended up with a solution that required manual steps or else I had to use an external program.
The code below uses LS2J to create thumbnail images in LotusScript. LotusScript does not natively have any methods for manipulating images, but Java does. LS2J (which is a part of Notes/Domino on the Win32 platform) makes it possible to expose Java functionality to LotusScript.
This tip employs an agent that is called in the WebQuerySave event of a Domino form. The agent, written in LotusScript, checks the document for image files, and if any are found, creates thumbnail files for them and attaches them to the document. You could create an agent for the Notes client that does the same thing. The central part of the agent is the line that calls the method that creates the thumbnail file. This method (thumbnailObject.ThumbnailThis in the code) receives four parameters:
 - The filename of the image that is to be used as the source for the thumbnail file.
 - The filename that the thumbnail image should have.
 - The maximum width of the thumbnail image.
 - The maximum height of the thumbnail image.
I have a form that holds a Body-field and an upload control to allow Web users to attach image files. The form has the following in the WebQuerySave event: @Command([ToolsRunMacro]; "SaveWeb")
In the database I have an agent with the following code:
